((A/N: Dear Clouds of the Sky:

Since you are the only person that reviewed my last chapter, I must deduce that you are the only one still reading it. Thank you very much. I have been super busy lately and have not been able to get to my computer, so I don't quite have a new chapter yet. But since you asked so nicely for longer chapters, here's what I'll do: I am going to write a lot using pencil and paper, and possibly get close to finishing it. That way, when I go to type it up, the chapters will be a lot longer and my fanfiction will probably move along faster. Thank you again for your support. Here is a mini-chapter to hopefull tide you over a little until I get more written. Thanks again!

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha! Where are you?" Kagome was becoming frantic. This was so unlike him! Inuyasha was nowhere to be found, and Ming was becoming impatient.

"He's probably just off skulking somewhere like a hurt little puppy. Can we go? I have loads of homework tonight." Ming tapped her foot, arms crossed.

Minh sighed. "Chill out, Ming."

"Chill out? Is that another of your lame fire dragon jokes? Well, why don't you just blown on home if you have a problem, Mr. Wind!"

Kagome had a very confused look on her face. Minh put his hands up in front of his face defensively. "Hey, don't get so hot, sis. It wasn't meant to be funny. It's a very common expression that people use all the time."

"Don't get hot? Don't get hot?"

"Um, how about we head home now," Kagome voiced cautiously. "Inuyasha's a big boy, I'm sure he can take care of himself…. what are you guys talking about anyway?" Minh laughed.

"Well, we're dragons, right? Well, I'm a dragon of wind, and Ming here is a dragon of fire. She gets a little touchy when she thinks that I'm cracking jokes about her element." Minh winked. "Imagine a fire dragon getting hot-headed over a little joke."

"That's what I'm talking about, Kagome!" Kagome couldn't help laughing.

The three set off towards the twin dragon's home, Inuyasha unintentionally slipping to the back of Kagome's mind.
